HI baz thank you mate..
Those sights cost more then the pistol I think so I won't get one unfortunately, as they look amazing and would do a great job.. But thank you for the info..

HI guys just a little update then. Took the 1911 to gin club Tuesday and put a few more rounds through it, once I finished shooting I looked down the muzzle and noticed a bit of alloy tape sticking out, so that means the alloy tape has started to weardown, so only lasted just over 250 shots which I think is not good enough..

I will take the gun apart tonight to see how much the tape has worn-out and take some pictures, I will then try to perfect the mod more, personally I think the mod needs to last at least 500 rounds for it to be worth doing..

I'll update more later then..

Hi guys, another little update then..

lol well after me saying that i noticed damage/wear on the alloy tape, and was not happy with how long the mod lasted, well all i can say is dam my eyes must be good and i must also be very fussy lol.

Took the barrel out to have a look at the wear on the alloy tape and this is all i saw, can you see the tiny little mark/raised bit? well that was it thats all the wear i swear it looked like more then that, maybe it got press flat again as i removed it, who knows..

Well i thought as i can see that little lip, i might as well redo it slightly differently, so i took the tape of and put a fresh bit on but this time much shorter, so that when the inner barrel moves forwards inside the outta barrel the end of the tape does not exit the outta barrel but stays flush inside..

Still works the gun fires more center, i had a long shoot today upstairs (2 hours) as i was home alone, i did 5 co2 capsules in this so just over 200 shots, after i have done another 300 shots ill check to see if there is any wear or not, but i have a good feeling i might not see any. I will update the post again when i look..

Happy Shooting all..

ATB, Marc.. :gg:

Marc, got these Glock adjustable sights in Australia for 25 quid, think I should have bought another dozen. They give a brilliant sight picture on the CP88.

Hi baz, they look amazing mate lol im a bit jealous for a few reasons, i want adjustable sights on my WE Glock 18c but i dont think they would be compatible as the sight gets screwed in from the underneath of the slide as the sight also hold the blowback unit in..

But these would also look good on my tan 1911 thats for sure, do the sights get fixed to the slide like the original cp88 sight with a hex screw through the center bolting it down?
